Buy a Truck, we'll give you a gun!
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/11/11/ak-truck-purchase/
A truck dealership in Florida has found a new way to drive sales: When you buy a truck, you also get a free AK-47, MyFoxOrlando.com reports.
Its not a joke.
After purchasing a truck from a Sanford, Fla., dealership, customers get a voucher for a gun shop, which will fill out the required federal and state forms and perform a background check. If you pass, youll be entitled to a gun. And if youre not in the market for a gun, you get $400 off your truck purchase or vouchers for other stores.
The gimmick appears to be working.
People are calling us, dont believe it. They want to come in and see it, general sales manager Nick Ginetta said.
The Sanford Police Chief said he is not concerned about the deal as long as the rules of gun ownership are followed, according to MyFoxOrlando.com.
Ginetta said hes offering the truck-and-gun deal, which runs through the end of the month, in honor of veterans.

the news agency apparently thought advertising AK-47 would draw more attention than handgun. It doesn't seem the dealership was focusing on AK-47s, and I don't see them mentioned anywhere except the title. Just journalistic nonsense.
and this seems like something I would see in Mississippi, Alabama, TN, or Kentucky where people hunt this time of year.
